Montaner was born as Héctor Eduardo Reglero Montaner, in Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, he moved to Venezuela when he was 6 years old. During his youth he performed in the church chorus in the city of Maracaibo. In 1983, he released his first album titled Cada Día. Although the album was not a great success, it was a start for Montaner's career. He describes this album:"as his own version of death metal"
It wasn't until 1987 when Montaner became widely popular in Venezuela with the singles "Yo Que Te Amé" and "Vamos a Dejarlo" belonging to his self-titled album.
The following year he came out with Ricardo Montaner 2 which featured hit songs like "Tan Enamorados" and "A Donde Va El Amor". At the same time, he acted in the popular soap opera Niña Bonita. This also became a tool to make his songs known to the rest of Latin America. He won 4 platinum albums in Argentina alone. His next two albums, Un Toque de Misterio and En el Último Lugar del Mundo, became classics of the popular music in Mexico, Central and South America with hits such as "La Cima del Cielo", "Me Va a Extrañar", "Déjame Llorar" and "Será".
By 1992 Ricardo decided to hit the Spanish Caribbean with Los Hijos del Sol, an album that contained songs like "Castillo Azul", "Honda" and "Piel Adentro". That year, he also recorded a duet with Michelle, which was the Latinamerican version for the Aladdin song "A Whole New World" titled "Un Mundo Ideal".
Although Montaner has written most of his songs he has worked closely with other great song writers in Latin America such as Pablo Manavello, Ilan Chester and Oscar Gómez. But in 1994, Ricardo Montaner wrote and produced all the songs in his album Una Mañana y un Camino, which became popular only years after his release due to the lack of promotion by his new record label EMI Latin, with which Ricardo would also release Viene del Alma in 1995, an Italian pop flavored album. Also in 1995 he teamed up with Yolandita Monge to establish a Guinness World Record for performing 3 concerts in different cities on the same day in Puerto Rico. This was only possible by air transportation via helicopter from stage to stage.
By 1997, Montaner was already a well established artist in the Spanish speaking music world and could give himself the luxury of experimenting with other styles of music, without forgetting the roots that had made him so popular a decade earlier. Working one more time with Pablo Manavello and with a new record company, Warner Music proved to be the promoter Ricardo was expecting for. Es Así brought Ricardo much popularity in the United States Spanish speaking areas and allowed Montaner to tour more than 17 countries in Latin America making him even more popular in Spain. Songs like "La Mujer de Mi Vida", "Para Llorar" and "Es Así" became very popular all around.
In 1999, Montaner recorded his best album ever with his past hits decorated with the strings of the London Metropolitan Orchestra. This proved to be very successful and sold over 1 million copies. Ricardo made another attempt in 2001 with Sueño Repetido that included the bolero style song "Bésame" arranged by Bebu Silvetti which became a hit all over the world. Future works with Juan Carlos Calderón, Kike Santander and Silvetti would be the key for Ricardo to move his songs and popularity to another level in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
2002's Suma (Bolero style songs) and 2003's Prohibido Olvidar (balada pop) had fair results in terms of sales and acceptance. "Si Tuviera Que Elegir" in Suma was written for his daughter. In 2003 he broke the record for the most concerts on a same tour in the theater of Bellas Artes in Puerto Rico. He sold out 18 concerts breaking his past record of 12, which also held it Yolandita Monge and Ricardo Arjona.
In 2004, he made another album with the London Metropolitan Orchestra named Con La London Metropolitan Orchestra Vol. 2 featuring his latest hits songs and two exclusive songs such as "Desesperado" and "Esta Escrito". In 2005, Montaner launched Todo y Nada which featured the songs "Cuando a mi Lado Estas" and "Nada". For this album he's already nominated in the Latin Grammys with album and song of the year for "Cuando a mi Lado Estas". "Amarte es mi Pecado" and "Heridas de Amor" are non-album songs that have been chosen to be the theme songs on two very popular Mexican soap operas and that much popular have become these songs.
In 2007, Ricardo released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo produced by Adrian Posse with the songs "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti", "Nostalgias (Argen Version)", "Échame A Mí La Culpa (Artista Invitado: Juanes)".
In 2008, he released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo II - Y Algunas Mías...! with the songs "Cuando Un Amigo Se Va", "Ansiedad", "Bésame (Featuring Pasión Vega)".
Ricardo Montaner has sold over 22 million albums, and keeps breaking records in arenas and theaters all over the world.
El Ilanto de la luna
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que la ve llorando entre cuatro paredes
Entre Dios y el universo
Llora que se llueve toda de lagrima blanca
Lagrima de luna lagrimas lloradas
Cayendo del cielo
Que la luna llore tanto como yo
La luna llora también de dolor
Al verme caminando en sentido contrario
En sentido figurado me extinguí
Pasé a ser un inútil todo un infeliz
La luna llora también del horror
Al ver que estoy vencido a punto de estallar
Convencido que la luna
Jamás se ha enamorado como yo
No que va
Oye el llanto de la luna entre dolor y pena
Se parece un poco al llanto de ballena
Que pena, que pena
Hoy el llanto de la luna se conoce a leguas
Y no te sorprenda que la luna no quiera
Que la vean llorar
Necesito que me digas como explicas
Que la luna llore tanto como yo
La luna llora también de dolor
Al verme caminando en sentido contrario
En sentido figurado me extinguí
Pasé a ser un inútil todo un infeliz
La luna llora también del horror
Al ver que estoy vencido a punto de estallar
Convencido que la luna
Jamás se ha enamorado como yo
Y que de besos solo sabe mirar
Necesito que me digas como explicas
Que la luna llore tanto como yo
La luna llora también de dolor
Al verme caminando en sentido contrario
En sentido figurado me extinguí
Pasé a ser un inútil todo un infeliz
La luna llora también del horror
Al ver que estoy vencido a punto de estallar
Convencido que la luna
Jamás se ha enamorado como yo
The song "El Llanto de la Luna" by Ricardo Montaner is a melancholic ballad about the moon crying in shame and pain alongside the singer, who is also weeping due to his unrequited love. The opening lines set the scene of the moon crying in secret while people observe it from afar. The moon is a symbol of cyclical love and beauty, but it also hides its feelings and pain behind the four walls of the night sky. The moon's tears are depicted as white raindrops falling from the sky, adding to the sorrowful mood of the song.
The chorus repeats the same plea, asking for an explanation of the moon's tears and how they can relate to the singer's. The second verse offers a personal voice to the story, as the singer reveals his own sense of being defeated and worthless. His love has turned into a one-sided infatuation that makes him feel like a loser walking in the opposite direction. Even the moon, which he feels has never been in love like him, cannot help but cry at his sorrow.
The final verse continues the theme of the moon's empathy with the singer's pain, calling it a "horror" to witness him breaking down. The song ends with the image of the moon as a silent witness to the singer's unrequited love, unable to comfort him with anything more than its tears. Overall, "El Llanto de la Luna" reflects on the shared emotions of love, loss, and sadness, as universal feelings that can be expressed through nature itself.

Llora luna de vergüenza con toda esa gente que la ve llorando entre cuatro paredes...Entre Dios y el universo.
Llora que se llueve toda de lagrima blanca, lagrima de luna, Lágrimas lloradas cayendo del cielo.
Necesito que me digas como explicas
Que la luna llore tanto como yo
La luna llora también de dolor
Al verme caminando en sentido contrario, en sentido figurado me extinguí, pase a ser un inútil todo un infeliz.
La luna llora también del horror
Al ver que es estoy vencido a punto de estallar convencido que la luna jamás se ha enamorado como yo. No, que va.
Hoy el llanto de la luna entre dolor y pena se parece un poco al llanto de ballena, que pena, que pena.
Hoy el llanto de la luna se conoce a leguas y no te sorprenda que la luna no quiera que la vean llorar
Necesito que me digas como explicas que la luna llore tanto como yo...
La luna llora también de dolor al verme caminando en sentido contrario en sentido figurado me extinguí, pase a ser un inútil, todo un infeliz.
La luna llora también del horror al ver que estoy vencido a punto de estallar
Convencido que la luna jamás se ha enamorado como yo y que de besos solo sabe mirar...
